Are you talking about the Legends of the West line from Empire? Those figures had several great wagons (Stagecoach, Buckboard, Covered Wagon, Fire Wagon, & Peddler's Wagon), and each came with a packed-in carded figure (4" tall), horses, the wagons themselves, and loads of accessories. The Stage had all these pieces of furniture that could be loaded on the stage, along with a rifle for the driver; the two frontier wagons came with things to load in them plus a campfire with pots & pans; Fire Wagon had all these items to be used by the firefighters; and the Peddler's Wagon was loaded with bottles and boxes for the peddler to sell. I know most of my toys from the line were bought at Woolworth's when I was little.
